Brett and Michael are back for the twentieth episode of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast (Presented by Ankin Law)! The Cubs wrapped up their week with a dominant 8-1 win over the Twins and an unforgettable Fourth of July performance, crushing eight home runs in an 11-3 win over the Cardinals—a new franchise record.

They spotlight Michael Busch’s red-hot stretch, including his three-homer game and co-NL Player of the Week honors, and discuss how he’s finally getting national attention alongside bigger Cubs names like PCA and Kyle Tucker.

Also on deck: the NL Central race is tightening up. The Brewers have surged with a sweep of the Dodgers and a month of winning baseball, but the Cubs still hold a schedule advantage in the second half.

A special thank you to Ankin Law for sponsoring this podcast!
